MSNative Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 In honor of the Olympics will you share your homeschool gold medal winners? They can be best homeschool book, best curriculum, best organization book, best keep you sane book, etc. I'll take the easy one: Gold Medal - The Well Trained Mind - I use this book constantly. This is the book I lend to friends who are interested in homeschooling. When I'm in a slump or we hit an area that causes trouble, I reread sections (and usually realize that if I'd done as they suggested, I wouldn't be having that problem.) When I'm planning for the next year, I'm right back in it looking at the reviews. Also at the podium - MUS and IEW. Both are fantastic!

Jean in Newcastle Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 Best Latin Program (in my opinion): Galore Park's "So You Really Want to Learn Latin Prep" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSNative Posted February 17, 2010 Author Share Posted February 17, 2010 I had forgotten about Old Fashioned Education. I like that one. Looked into the Latin program. I've tried two other Latin programs and just can't seem to get into it. More of a modern languages gal who longs to be a Latin scholar. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
